Makomike, its the large scale problem created by the home loan originators and the borrowers who both worked to create unverifiable nonexistent income, that created this mess. I don't see how reining in those originators and the companies they work for as the F.B.I. is starting to do will hurt. It is theft on a grand scale. It is going to shut down the economy all by itself without any help from anyone else. Just watch. This isn't much different from the house flipping scandals of a decade or more ago. That partailly collapsed the real estate market for about a year when that occurred. More greed and outright theft. The originator gets his, the real estate broker gets his, the attorneys get thiers, the originators company gets thiers, and the loan buyer gets left holding the bag. Not this time though. This time its us!
